Welcome to the •MAKE•IT•Crafty• Seasonal Blog Hop! This month we will be featuring cards and Valentine creations.

If you’ve arrived from Natalie's blog at Scrappysassystudios, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way around. If you get lost, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here.

This month we have a number of Close To My Heart Consultants from Ottawa sharing their creations using various CTMH products to help you get in a festive mood for the Valentine.______________________________________________

Here is a funny card.

Melting Snowman Valentine's Card

The snowflake side of the Snowhaven paper reminds me of a wintery evening sky. I stamped the snowman 3 times, sliding him down so it looks like he's melting - which goes perfectly with the sentiment "Love Never Melts" from the same stamp set as the snowman aptly called Flakey Friends.

_____________________________________________Thank you so much for following along on our Blog Hop today! I hope you enjoyed all the lovely artwork… Now it’s time to head start over at Julie's blog at The ScrapZone and see her artwork! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas! And please leave comments for the other bloggers as you hop through!

Look for our next Blog Hop where we will feature beautiful Valentines projects,
à bientôt!

During the month of January, Close to My Heart is adding $30 extra in Hostess Rewards to any Gathering totaling $350 or more. This means instead of qualifying for $60 in select free product (plus one half price item) for a Gathering of $350, you would receive $90 in free product! That's lots of paper crafting goodness.

There are THREE ways to host a "Gathering".

Invite friends and family over for a fun afternoon or evening of paper crafting.

Show family and friends the Idea Books and collect orders.

Start an EZ Invite and collect online orders.

Of course, you could maximize your Gathering by using a combination of these methods. If you're interested in getting CTMH products for free, just send me an email or give me a ring and we can get you started.

All Hostess Rewards items will be shipped FREE to qualifying hostesses.

Here is another reason to celebrate in January! A special promotion from Close to My Heart.

For anyone looking for a simple, faster way of scrapbooking memories this year, this adorable Year Noted Kit comes ready to help do JUST that! It also complements Close to My Heart's fantastic line of slip-in photo protectors and products called Picture My Life. (click peek at those cards)

The stamp set is designed so you will be able to create your own yearlong mini book documenting your likes, aspirations, goals, dreams, and much more!

So here is the 411

During January, for only $10 you can purchase the full kit with kraft mini book, or without the mini book for only $5 with a qualifying purchase of $50,

This means you will receive over $37 CAD worth of product for only $10 if you purchase the kit with the accompanying mini book!

Shipping/handling rates are based on the full retail price (without My Creations™ kraft mini book: $27.02 CAD; including My Creations™ kraft mini book: $37.97 CAD). Tax is assessed on the actual amount the customer pays for the item.

Remember, the exclusive papers, stamp set, and stickers are available for January. You can purchase the kraft mini book separately from Seasonal Expressions 1 (available December 2014–March 2015) at full retail; however, the mini book is available as part of this exclusive paper kit promotion at a discount of at least 50%!

So make sure to get your own Year Noted paper kit today for the perfect start to a crafty year! Here is a video to show you how you can put it together.
